Quote:Mostly private business and industry, however, we will always subsidize that indirectly by maintaining public infrastructure.

 

Really if anything requires subsidization it should just be a public institution if it's something that has a positive effect on society, and shouldn't be around if it doesn't have a positive effect on society and also can't survive without subsidy.

Public infrastructure is paid for with taxes, is it not?  So, without successful private businesses out there generating wealth and tax revenue for the eternally wealth sucking government, those roads and bridges and other infrastructure wouldn't be necessary and they darn sure couldn't be paid for.  Government doesn't create wealth or tax revenue.  It takes it from those who do. 

 

What are you going to use to subsidize your beloved generic "public institution" if the earners decide they've had enough and they quit?
